A Copy of the Memorial, with a full Report of the discussion at the Meet!ng of the Zoological Society on Thursday ; with the official Report of the Council, and the full discussion at the Anniversary Meeting on Monday, will appear in the GARDENERS' GA- Z EWE of THIS DAY, published With. a Stamped Supple ment, price 6d. _ THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY", MAY 5 , 1838. on Thursday, and his audience was quite as numerous and more vociferous than on former occasions. We expected that Dr. CHALMERS would have examined, with some care, the very important question, why the Government has selocted, and still selects, Presbyterianism in Scotland and Episcopacy in England and Ireland, exclusively to bestow on it all the revenue which the State can set apart for the reli gious instruction of the whole people, thereby injuring and insulting all its subjects who are not members of the favoured denomination, and thereby subverting the great compact of dealing equally and fairly with all, on which alone it can ask for their obedience. We expected to hear Dr. CHALMERS explain the stern necessity under which the Government of this people, composed of Episcopalians, Roman Catholics, Presbyterians, Methodists, Relief and Secessionists, Independents, Baptists, Quakers, &c. &c., all of whom have a voice in the Legislature, in proportion to their numbers and their wealth, was compelled to com mit the injustice of preferring one sect to another ; and we expected to hear him explain the methods by which the Go vernment of such apeople, committingthis continual injustice may, which at present seems a hopeless task, hope to rule them in peace, happiness, and prosperity. But not one word on this, to our divided people, important subject, did the Rev. Divine condescend to utter. He alluded at some length to the conflict which now exists between what is legal and what the people desire ; he expatiated largely on CONSTANTINE adopting Christianity, and on HENRY VIII. nursing the Reformation ; he abused Catholicism as its prevails in Ireland, and he thundered forth against Ministers for attempting to do a little justice to the Ira Ca tbolics, as if they were swindlers or pickpockets. MUR TAGIL O'SULLIVAN and DENS RPGIIEE would have died, we believe, with envy, had they heard the vociferous applause with which this part of the Learned Divine's ora tion was received by his well-dressed audience. We insert an ample report of this Lecture ; and our readers, on perusing it, will agree with us, that this Clergyman might be better employed than in exciting political and religious animosity. Perhaps it may occur to them, that no money can be worse applied, than that which, bestowed to promote peace and love, is perverted to sustain the factious disseminators of bigotry and strife. - We cannot find space for the comments we intended to offer on the principles of the lecture ; but one homage we must pay to the Learned Divine's discrimination. He too has discovered, whatever might have been the case for merly, that the public will and the law of the land are now at variance ; that which is legal does not coincide with what the people desire ; and that voluntary zeal and the legal principle, far from being concurrent, are in deadly conflict. So far Dr. CHALMER'S agrees with the author of the Paper on what the middle classes of Germany desire which we published a few days ago, and sagaciously recognises the difficulty of governing, which is the remarkable feature of modern political society. Which of the two principles ought to give way—the legal principle, which is only the embodyment of what was voluntary —o r the voluntary principle, which asserts a perfect right in the existing generation to embody their will into laws such as was possessed by their predecessors, we cannot now inquire. We must content ourselves with observing, that the elo quent discourses of Dr. CHALMERS will stir up more doubts than they will put to rest, and that the Church of England will owe no gratitude to its indiscreet friends who invited him to lecture in the metropolis. By the arrival of the packet ship Independence at Liverpool we have received New YOrk papers of the 10th instant just one day later than the last arrivals. The result of the engagement at Pelle Island, on th e 3d ult.—" the last kick of the Patriots"—is now known as regards the British troops. A detachment of the 32d regiment was only engaged, of which the following were killed or wounded : Sargeant Sheffield, shot through the arm, broken ; is not expected to live. Sergeant Wood, flesh wound in the thigh. Corporal Miller, both legs broken by a ball ; died since; lest a widow and child in Montreal. Drummer M'Cai tan, killed ; lie volunteered to form one of the party. Private Holmes—killed. Private Symons—shot through the breast; died since. Wounded severely—Privates Reacher, Ogden, Davis, Au sty, Pearson, Sheppard, Alcock, Winters, Leader, Davy, Warren, Roland. Privates Knight, Regan, North, Jerrod, Scott, Ridge, Harding, Ste vens, Holland, Hubble,dordan, Johnston— , -all slightly wounded. The whole amounting to thirty men. The following paragraphs are copied from the New York Journals : Lord Gosford continues to receive the attentions and hospitalities of the citizens of New York, public and private. Thesecivilities, we un derstand, ha\ e been of a very gratifying nature. His Lordship will sail on the 10th, in the Toronto, for London. The following officers, recently arrived from England, were placed in general orders for particular service on Monday last :—Lieut.-Colonels It. Nickle, Quebec ; Hon. G. Cathcart, Montreal ; E. F. Gascoigne, Montreal : It. It. Loring, Toronto; W. Marshall, Kingston ; C. F. Turner, Cornwall ; W. Cox, Carillon; W. C. Taylor, St. John's and Ilemmingford ; Majors W. F. Williams, Mr quoi ;F. A. M. Fraser, Stanstead ; J. Campbell, Coteau du Lac ; P. Young, Prescot ; Anstru ther, Niagara ; C. Head, Beauharnois ; Captains G. Baron de Rotten burgh, Toronto ; J. B. Creagh, Beauharnois. The packet ship Virginian brought to New York Major Briggs and Veterinary Surgeon Johnston, of the 7th Hussars, and Lieutenant and Riding Master Hanamersley, Ist Dragoon Guards. They have arrived in town, and we believe it is their intention to purchase horses in the townships. The Paris Journals of Thursday have all been received. Those of Wednesday reached us yesterday, but in conse quence of the unusual quantity of domestic intelligence on hand, we were constrained to postpone till to-day all refe rence to their contents. In the Charte of Thursday night we find the following official news from Spain :- "TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH." BAYONNII, MAY 3.-Accounts from St. Sebastian state, that Gene ral Espartero had gained a signal victory over Count Negri in the neighbourhood of Bur g os. The Carlists are stated to have suffered con siderably. The whole of their artillery and a great number of officers had fallen into the hands of the Constitutionalists." The Chamber of Deputies was engaged on Wednesday with the further consideration of M. Gout N's Five per Cent. Reduction Bill, the Minister of Finance being suffi ciently recovered to take part in the debates. The editor of the newspaper, La Ztlode,has been fined by the Court of Correctional Police, at the suit of the Attor ney-General in a penalty of 200 francs, for omitting .to publish in his journal his conviction and sentence of impri sonment for a libel upon the KING T. NNe have the following letter from Dresden, April 23 :- " Several hotels have already been hired at Carlsbad by Foreign Princes who are now in Germany, and by other persons of distinction : amon g them are mentioned the Princess of Beira and Don Mi g uel, the Duke and Duchess of Angouleme, the Duke of Bordeaux and Made moiselle de Rosny, Prince Gustavus Wasa, the Duchess of Berri and her husband, Count Lucchesi Palli, the Duke of Ra g usa and M. de Bourmont, who is to come hither from Rome for the recovery of his health. On the other hand, no Russian or Austrian Diplomatist has yet had apartments taken in our city ; but what astonishes us is that General F. Skrizynecki, Commander. in.chicf of the Polish revolu. tionary army, and Count Ostowski, who was President of the Chamber durin g the revolution, have obtained permission to pass the summer at Carlsbad. The Prince Royal of Saxony intended also to go to Carlsbad, but as he is much displeased at the meeting of all the ex-Illustrious personages in that place, he is gone to Italy where he means to pass the summer."

The Committee_ room was crowded to excess ; but a great proportion of the " strangers" was composed of unemployed Barristers. The names of the Committee having been called over, ' Mr. TITESIGEIIt said, when the Committee rose yesterday, he was in possession of the attention of the Committee on the objection to the vote of Andrew Hare. An Honourable Member had asked him if he was likely to be long? To that question lie had stated he eould give no answer, and the Committee then adjourned. That was the state the matter was left in yesterday. Mr. HILL said he had argued yesterday that he had a right to proceed to strike off another vote, and he had understood the decision of the Committee was that he should proceed. Mr. LANGDALE (a member)—We had better decide whether we shall hear the objection. Mr. Diastole—l deny your power to prevent my being heard. Mr. FITZIMON (a Member)—We don't want.—(A laugh.) Mr. THESIGER.—You may close your ears if you like. I don't ask the permission of any individual member of the Committee. You are a tribunal, sworn to hear this matter, and I stand upon my strict right. The short-hand writer then read, at the request of a member of the Committee, his notes of what took place yesterday. Mr. Tuestoea.—The Committee have nu right, after the decision they pronounced yesterday, to entertain the question of the objection to the vote of Andrew Hare. The CHAIRMAN—I should like to know how the matter stands. You object to Mr. Hill's mode of proceeding ; then Mr. Hill raises an objec tion to your objection. Mr. THESIGER—And then I object to that.—(Laughter.) I object to his objection. The CHAIRMAN—We roust hear his objection. Sir G. YOUNG—(Addressing Mr. Hill)---you make an application to strike off this vote, for the purpose of putting yourself in a majority. I can not consent to that, with out hearing the voter. Mr. HILL.—I wish to stand on the admission that I received. Mr. THESIGER —You received no admission ; I deny it again. Mr. Woon—l heard the admission distinctly. Mr. THESIGER--(In a violent passion, and turning round to Mr. Wood)—Mr. Wood, you—(Cries of " Order, order," and great confu sion.) —I made no admission ; I deny it most positively ; I really won der, Mr. Wood, how you should contradict me, Mr. WOOD—L heard it distinctly. Mr. HILL—We had better avoid everything that tends to irritation. Mr. THESIGER—It was not an admission, but a declaration. Mr. RUSHTON was convinced his Learned Friend would not persist in any course in which he might possibly find himself in error. When this question was mooted, his Learned Friend, Mr. Hill said, " we are still wanting one vote. Mr. Thessiger said, "No, you are in a majority." He then asked, was that admitted 7 An answer came from that end of the table, at which the Counsel and Agents for the Sitting Members sat, and he was bound to say, he believed from Mr. Thessiger, stating there was no doubt whatever of the fact. Mr. TIISSICIER---1 stated that. Mr. RUSHTON—Upon which I said, we take it to be so. It was acceded to, and I sat down upon the understanding, and upon no other, that we were in a majority. The Learned Counsel stated there was no man at the Bar for whose conduct or character he had higher respect than that of his Learned Friend; but he must say that no less an autho rity and no less a character than that which he brought to the discussion of that affair could have induced them to repose with perfect cer tainty on the distinct declaration made by his Learned Friend. Mr. Woon, in explanation of what he had said that the admission was made, stated the question was put to the other side, " Is that fact admitted ?" and Mr. Thesiger said, " There is no doubt of the fact." Mr. HILLYARD contended the Committee ought to proceed with the case unfettered by any thing like admission. Mr. WRANGHI:II said there had been nothing but an assertion—no admission. Mr. HILL said he would ground his case upon the notes of the short-hand writer—an impartial, sworn officer. The short hand writer's note was this—" Mr. Thesiger stated, as the sitting Members were now in a minority, he would proceed to attack the votes of Messrs. Hutt and Wood. Mr. Hill stated he was not certain that was so. Mr. Thesiger said he believed there was no doubt of it." There had been therefore a sort of agreement between them that the petitioners were to be considered in a majority. It was not fair or reasonable that he should be placed in a worse situation now than he would have been in if the admission had not been made. Mr. THESIGER apprehended the Committee had no power whatever to decide between his Learned Friend and himself, in the altercation that had arisen between them. He would state most positively that although he made an assertion founded on a snistakh of the fact from believing they were in a majority, he had made no admission that could be binding on him. He would not shrink from his duty, nor would he permit the Committee, without a protest against their power to do so, to say the objection should not be made by him, and being made, the Corn. miltee would find it must prevail if they showed any consistency at all in their decisions. Mr. O'BRIEN (a Member) had heard the whole of what passed on the occasion that had been referred to, and he himself had acted on the conviction that it war agreed the petitioners were in a majority of one. Mr. TIIESIGEII—That's quite immaterial. No doubt we were all acting under an erroneous impression. The room was then cleared, and after an absence of about twenty minutes, strangers 're re-admitted, and __ _ The CHAIRMAN said the Committee did not feel called upon to inter. fere in any arrangement between the Counsel, and that Mr. Hill having placed before the Committee the vote of Andrew Hare, they would hear Mr. Thesiger on his own objection. Mr. THeSIGER then said, Mr. Hill having sought to strike from the votes of the sitting Members the vote of Andrew Hare, he objected to his Friend questioning the vote at all, inasmuch as the provisions of the Act of Parliament had not been complied with by depositing lists applicable to the petition which had been sent to the Committee for trial. The decision to which the Committee had already arrived, ren dered it unnecessary to go over the ground they had so tediously travelled together yesterday. lie called for a uniformity of judgment. The Committee had decided that the hearing of the lists might be regarded, although the Act of Parliament did not • require any heading at all.—(A laugh.) For six weeks had they been assembled, and upon every occasion, when it was convenient for his Learned Friends on the other side, their lists, which had since been decided to be a nonentity, were made use of. Notwithstanding the hardship and the injustice of permitting them so to deal with their lists, and to treat them as things not in existence, had been pressed over and over again before the Committee, yet the Committee at this distant day, after the lists had been acted on time after time decided they were invalid lists, and now the Sitting Members' day had arrived.—(Laughter.) They had been waiting for it long—fortune had brought it to their door; he thanked the Committee for ther decision, for the very first time—(a laugh)—and he called upon them to be consistent with themselves, and to apply that which was the law of yesterday, as the law of to-day. The petition was stated to be the petition of Frank Rawson, of George Binks the younger, and of John Bickerstein, It was signed by George Binks the younger. Accor.l_ log to the decision of the Committee no list on the table had a heading applicable to that petition. It was headed, "in the matter of the petition of Frank Rawson, George Binks, and John Bickerstein." What, George Binks ? George Binks the younger ? No; Geo. Binks, which without any addition clearly meant the elder Binks, of the name of George. It was with perfect disgust he approached any argument be fore the Committee. He would refer not to his argument., for they never prevailed, but to the arguments of his Learned Friend Mr. Austin, which captivated the Committee into a decision that was hostile to the whole of the inquiry on the part of the sitting Members: The Learned Counsel, after having expended same time in a most vehement address to the Committee, and somewhat exhausted himself, concluded by call_ ing upon the Committee to abide by their decision, and his Learned Friends would have reason to repent that their objection had ever pre vailed. George Robert Bartlett was then called in support of the objection and stated that he knew G. Binks the elder and G. Rinks the younger They were both painters. The father was a burgess. " The son was entitled to vote, but the father was_ not. Mr. HILL denied there had been any ,adoption of the lists of the sitting Members. The objection of his Learned Friend could not prevail for many reasons. In the first place, tae objection ought to have been taken on the 16th or 18th of March, when the Committee first met, and before any of the votes were entered into. It would operate unjustly if this objection were to succeed after they had been put to an immense expense in bringing up their wit nesses. The decision which the Committee came to yesterday could not be brought to bear on:the present objection. In the one case John Bickerstein was described as George Bickerton, in the other George Binks was de scribed as George Rinks, because whether the younger or the elder he was Georgeßinks. The decision which the Committees pronounced yes terday was perfectly correct ; but it had nothing to do with the present objection. Mr. TUESIGER having replied, The Committee room was cleared. The Committee decided that the sitting Member's Counsel could net proceed with their objection to the vote. Mr. HILL applied for an adjournment. Mr. MESHIER resisted the application. The CHAIRMAN (after consulting a few minutes with other Members) —This Committee is adjourned until Monday. Mr. THESIGER—This is the first instance of a Committee deciding on an adjournment on the application of one party, the other party ob. jetting, and no ground being given for the application. Mr. FILL—But the ground is plain and intelligible that we can't go on. The CHAIRMAN—The Committee is adjourned till Monday, Office, 343, Strand. HER 'MAJESTY'S DRAWIN C-ROOM.

The Times of' to-day, in speaking of the Ministers' plan to increase the revenue of Church lands, has the following paragraph, which is equally worthy of the attention of the landlords and the bulk of the bread eaters : " Is there any other instance in which it would be tolerated In this country (at least till lately, and what may be hereafter the case we know not), that Government should interfere between a proprietor and his possessions, and say to him, My friend, your farms are leased out at by far too little ; we shall take them into our own hands, g iving you your present rent, so that you shall be no loser, and make what we can of them for other purposes.' Why, we ask, should not Government pos_ less themselves of the rental of the whole kin X dom in the same manner and on the same terms ? The taxes mi g ht thus be considerably re duced, and the Exchequer filled by the process!" The " till lately" and the " hereafter," in relation to the community taking the landowners' farms out of their hands, are very suggestive words. Till lately nobody would have dreamed of that ; we believe hereafter nobody would have nourished, or even formed such a wish, but for the conduct of the landowners. Since they first in 1815, subsequently in 1822, and again in 1828, came before the country and said, " Our farms do not yield us enough to keep up our numerous e quipages, and crowds of liveried menials, we cannot pay the annuities which our fathers left 'to our younger brothers and uncles, and the jointures with which our lands are charged for our mothers and grandmothers, aunts and cousins ; neither can we pay the interest due on the money which we borrowed to buy land when there was a prospect that it would rise still higher in value, the mortgagees threaten to foreclose, the land will pass from our hands and the present race of landowners. The TEMPLES, the PELHAMS, the STANHOPES, the GOOCHES, the KNATCHBULLS, the BULLERS, &C., &C., must go for the remainder of their days into exile, and see their families compelled to live by their own honest industry." When they, after making these doleful lamentations over the insufficient produce of their farms to allow them to live with their accustomed extravagance, and the dreadful hardship of beir , obliged to earn the bread they eat, proceeded by virtue of the Legislative power, which the traditionary respect of the nation vested in them, to pass a law for increasing the price of what these farms yield, and for levying a tax on the people's bread to add to the revenues,—from that very instant, when these equally, fooli s h an d w i c k e d men i ns i ste d on increasing their re -ii venues, by limiting the supply of food, enhancing the natural income of rent by the compulsory produce of taxation, confounding the two under the latter hateful term,—from that moment the idea was ge nerated, and it has now become patent and common, that it would be wise for the community to take the farms of the taxing landlords into its own hands, and giving them even double the revenue they now derive from the tax on bread, set the national industry free from the fetters in which their cupidity has bound it. Till lately, that is, till 1815, the people would have shuddered at such a thought in relation to that class of men whom their fore fathers served, honoured, and obeyed ; but since 1815, the ideas of the people hav e un d ergone a remarkable change, and the avowed pl un d er t h en made legal by the landowners, has shake n all p roperty to i ts b ase . What this may lead to hereafter we , lik e the Times, know producenot , but the e rental,think as the representativest he o f tlie avowedly people, taxed on to the main principle of the Constitution, ought to take both the levying and the appropriating it into their own hands ; and some project of that kind will no doubt be entertained, and justly entertained, as long as one particle of the land owners' rental is derived from a tax on the food of the people. The Times says the Dissenter who objects to pay the rates, which his neighbour the chu rc h warden and a select vestry levy on him, " is NOT AN HONEST MAN." The Her ad says that to relieve the Dissenter from Church rates, by improving the value of Church prop erty, i s ,4 rob bery."

BEDFORD. At the first objection raised by the Counsel of the petitioners to a vote of the sitting Members, on the ground of loss of qualification be tween the registration and the polling, Mr. AUSTIN objected that as the third question it was not proved had been asked of the voter at the poll, as to continuance in qualification, the objection could not now be taken. The question was argued at great length by Counsel on both sides. The Committee decided that the objection could be preceeded with without giving proof of the third question having been asked at the poll. This objection, however, was abandoned, to go on with three cases of removal, in which the Gaoler of Bedford might give his evidence, that he might return to that town the sooner. WATERFORD. The Committee met to-day at two o'clock. Mr. MILES, Chairman. Mr. TALBOT said he had to apply to the Committee for an adjourn ment of the opening statement until Monday, in consequence of the im possibility of Mr. Thesiger, who was leader in the case, giving his attend ance that day, he being very particularly engaged in another Committee. room. He did not expect that his Learned Friends on the other side woald offer any objection to the application, as it could not in any manner add to the expenses of the sitting Member, it having been previously ar ranged that they should proceed no further than the opening that day. Mr. AUSTIN said it was not a mere question of pounds, shillings, and pence. He understood that the scrutiny had been abandoned, and that there was no charge then against them but that of bribery. Now had his Learned Friend told his story, they would have had the advan tage of two posts to make inquiries into the cases. They were at pre. sent totally unacquainted with any charge that was made against them. The Cusiems.sr—Mr. Austin, should you require any time after hear ing the statement in order to prepare yourself, I am sure the Committee will willingly afford it. Mr. Au - sr - IN—Sir, I am contented with such a statement, and leave he case with the Committee. The Committee then ;dloUrned till Monday. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.
